O silêncio dos afogados
O silêncio dos afogados trata do episódio de construção de duas hidrelétricas do chamado complexo de Garabi-Panambi no Rio Uruguai, na fronteira entre Brasil e Argentina. A pesquisa se debruça sobre as vozes representadas e silenciadas pela cobertura do noticiário das cidades de Posadas e Porto Alegre durante o período, problematizando o ethos jornalístico. O livro, adaptado da tese de doutoramento do autor, traça um caminho que interliga a falha metabólica da separação entre homem e natureza até a questão da crise ambiental do século XXI. A crise de valores do Jornalismo a partir da modernidade acompanha essa problematização, em cujo ethos estaria também presente a força das imagens naturais e dos saberes não científicos, a fim de produzirem sentidos múltiplos e complexos. O livro é o primeiro título da Série Parsifal da Editora Imaginalis.
A teoria geral do imaginário 50 anos depois: conceitos, noções, metáforas
Ao longo do século XX, o imaginário deixou de ser sinônimo de fantasia ou de ser associado à loucura para ocupar um elugar epistemológico e ontológico específico na produção de representações e de sabers, ao ponto de constituir sua própria heurística. Deve-se isso ao trabalho de numerosos pensadores oriundos dos campos mais diversos das Ciências Humanas e Sociais, da filosofia à psicanálise, da antropologia à literatura, que desembocou na Teoria Geral do Imaginário, lançada há quase 50 anos em Chambéry (França) sob forma do primeiro CRI (Centro de Pesquisas sobre Imaginário). Desde então, os estudos sobre o imaginário se tornaram mais diversificados e complexos através do mundo e através das disciplinas. Diversos movimentos epistemológicos reivindicaram conceitos mais flexíveis, que se tornaram noções e se dispersaram em metáforas. Se, por um lado, as noções e as metáforas apresentam a vantagem de admitir mais de uma ideia por vez, como as ideias contraditórias, por outro lado elas podem levar à imprecisão ou à equivalência generalizada dos termos, tornando vão o trabalho do pensamento.
Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons
Clinical Pancreatology Since the book Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons was first published sixteen years ago, the knowledge and clinical management of pancreatic diseases have developed markedly. Thanks to the development of the translational research and the from bench to bedside concept, much progress from the lab has been applied to clinical practice. In addition, several highly relevant clinical trials published over the last years have resulted in the update and optimisation of clinical guidelines. A new and validated classification of severity and complications of acute pancreatitis is firmly rooted in clinical practice and has been the basis for t...
Advances in Wind Power
Today's wind energy industry is at a crossroads. Global economic instability has threatened or eliminated many financial incentives that have been important to the development of specific markets. Now more than ever, this essential element of the world energy mosaic will require innovative research and strategic collaborations to bolster the industry as it moves forward. This text details topics fundamental to the efficient operation of modern commercial farms and highlights advanced research that will enable next-generation wind energy technologies. The book is organized into three sections, Inflow and Wake Influences on Turbine Performance, Turbine Structural Response, and Power Conversion, Control and Integration. In addition to fundamental concepts, the reader will be exposed to comprehensive treatments of topics like wake dynamics, analysis of complex turbine blades, and power electronics in small-scale wind turbine systems.
Polo in Argentina
This work--the first of its kind in more than sixty years--covers polo in Argentina, from its beginnings in the 1870s to the summer of 2013. The history of the early pioneers is constructed with data not previously published, gathered from contemporary sources. International competitions are covered and include the Olympic Games, the Cup of the Americas and the World Championships. Particular attention is given to the major clubs, the Argentine and Hurlingham Open Championships, and the National Handicap Tournament. Several of the elite players merit individual or family mini-biographies. Myths in Argentine polo are also debunked, based upon careful analysis of contemporary sources. Travels abroad by Argentine teams are fully described as are the foreign teams that competed in Argentina. The work is enhanced by the author's personal observation of significant events and friendship with many of the participants.
Paying the Price of Freedom
Christine Hünefeldt documents in impressive, moving detail the striving and ingenuity, the hard-won triumphs and bitter defeats of slaves who sought liberation in nineteenth-century urban Peru. Drawing on judicial, ecclesiastical, and notarial records—including the testimony of the slaves themselves—she uncovers the various strategies slaves invented to gain their freedom. Hünefeldt pays particular attention to marriage relations and family life. Slaves used their family solidarity as a strategy, while slaveowners used the conflicts within families to prevent manumission. The author's focus on gender relations between slaveowners and slaves, as well as between slaves, is particularly o...
